Isn't having one of the lesbian love interests be a freckled redhead with a French name a bit on the nose?

No hate, Lelianas my favorite companion form Dragon Age Origins

Oh gosh, didn't even think of her.

I'm digging Mizuki's combat-earrings. Nobody else is wearing jewelry with their uniform, unless Graciela's covering some up behind her hair. Wonder if it means she has a somewhat...flexible relationship with military regulations? (Speaking of Graciela, how old is she supposed to be? She looks younger than the others to me.)

I admit, I wasn't thinking of Leliana, but yes, she was definitely a favorite.

There is some freedom with regard to military regulations (and will come up in what I term 'friendship' talks with some of the NPCs).

We haven't established ages, but yes, Graciela is a little younger than the others. She is among the first wave of human psionics (of course, by the time of PS 1, it is fairly ironed out).

Despite Rigel’s obvious skills, reported mechanical mishaps have increased over 50% in the colony. Some of the more cynical attribute this to owner sabotage, hoping Rigel will appear to repair the ‘broken’ vehicles.

"Repairing vehicles", huh? OK, my mind is so deep in the gutter now that it's not even funny.
